1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Jacqueline Grech Licari <jacqueline.grechlicari@xxxxxxxxx> Dear volcano community members, We're extending the application deadline. You now have until *Friday, August 8th* to submit your application. Feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested. More information below: The International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earthâ??s Interior (IAVCEI) Early-Career Researcher Network (ECR-Net) is renewing its working group, and seeking motivated and enthusiastic new ECR members. The aim of the working group is to lead scientific, pedagogic and networking activities aimed at ECRs from the broad volcanology research community represented by the IAVCEI, both virtually throughout the year, and physically at major conferences. Each new committee member should be proactive and highly motivated to support our community. This includes attending a virtual meeting every 2 months (sometimes outside working hours to accommodate all group members in different geographic zones), staying in communication in between meetings, and dedicating time for planning events (especially prior to major conferences). The working group members (~10 in total) all mix in and help to organise events, but can also have further specific roles depending on individual strengths (e.g., social media, chairperson). Requirements Applicants *should be ECRs* (as defined in the IAVCEI statutes and by-laws) and should *send a short CV (max. 2 pages) and paragraph describing their motivation for joining the ECR-Net working group*, to ecrnetiavcei@xxxxxxxxx by *August 08, 2025.* In the event that your application is unsuccessful in this round, we would like to keep your CV on file for a maximum of two years in case new openings arise between our bi-annual application process. Please state below your motivation statement if you do not wish for your CV to be retained. The ECR-Net working group is trying to *ensure equality, diversity and inclusivity, as well as regional geographical representation in its members*. New members will be selected to reflect this inclusivity by maintaining a balance of members representing regions around the world involved in volcanological research and monitoring activities. We particularly encourage applications from under-represented groups. In the scenario of more applications than open positions, new members will be selected via a vote cast by existing committee members. For more details on the working group, please visit our website: https://ecrnet.iavceivolcano.org/call-for-new-members-of-the-ecr-net-working-group/ *Note: An Early Career Researcher (ECR) is a practicing scientist who has completed no more than eight years since their last relevant degree (e.g., BSc/BA, MPhil, MA, MSc or PhD), or who holds a professional position with less than eight years of volcano-related research experience. The eight-year period does not include any career breaks.* Looking forward to your applications, The IAVCEI Early Career Research Network 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
